Hopefully Macklin and Barker will still fight a little bit further down the line when they are both at championship level and at their respective peaks as fighters.

it could e really exciting as they're both aggressive. i think we'll see macklin turn more boxer than aggressor in this fight. perhaps he'll have a good balance of both. gevor is very small for a middleweight. but very tough. it looks good for this matchup, that gevor did well vs sturm.

Who will headline this show now? Will go on still?

Broken nose i'm guessing is six weeks to heal. Tickets were never put up on Ticketmaster so I assume it will be just postponed...... Slapbangwhallop (Sligo) will know the full details

I can imagine Hattons not wanting to lose there sky date.

maybe matt hatton will move to this date

that would suit him a lot more because he's taken the Branco fight at short notice and Small v Webb was the headliner before that fight popped up.

Gutted though we seem to be getting a lot of postponements now, not the fighters fault because this is Boxing but just very frustrating that TV viewers and the locals in Birmingham have been denied a quality fight.

I can't promise that it's true (or even anything approaching), but gerraloada this here (last paragraph):

These blokes reckon that Gevor had pulled out anyway and had a ninety-day option to fight the winner of Macklin vs whomever he ended up a-fighting.

If (if) that's true and Macklin can't defend in time for that, would this mean that the title is vacant? I dunno, I never understand such things.

Shame. This bout was going to be action packed and was very evenly matched. Gevor is a world class opponent, so this was more than a regular defense of the European title.

I'm guessing Roach is talking about the Chudinov's?

That re-affirms what we knew further up the thread but doesn't answer the question. I will rephrase it: If Gevor was meant to fight the winner of Macklin vs X within 90 days but now Macklin can't fight, will Matty be stripped?

Gevor has won his contract dispute with Universum and is a free agent now.
